1000 places - Evidence based parenting programmes

CWDC is pleased to be funding 1000 places on training courses to deliver evidence based parenting programmes over the 2010-11 financial year.

Who is eligible for training?

The ‘priority groups’ targeted to receive this training are family intervention key workers, practitioners working in Sure Start children’s centres and practitioners supporting extended services in schools. In addition, CWDC will consider requests from parenting commissioners for training places for areas of local priority.

For which programmes are places being offered?

The programmes offered are: 

• Family Links 1:1
• Family Links Group
• Families and Schools Together (FAST) Primary
• Mellow Parenting
• Strengthening Families 10-14
• Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC)
• Solihull Approach 1:1
• Solihull Approach Group
• Triple P Group (0-12 years)
• Triple P Group Teen (12-16 years)

This training provision was previously funded by the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners. In transferring this responsibility, not all the previous providers have been commissioned by us. Incredible Years training has not been made available. That this training is not to be offered has no bearing on its suitability for use; it simply reflects the practical constraints and limited timescale which our offer is now working under. The programmes that they offer continue to be highly recommended and remain as such on the Commissioning Toolkit.
